Belagavi:
The official vehicle of Belagavi Zilla Parishad CEO Rahul Shinde was seized on Thursday following failure to comply with a court order directing payment of compensation to farmers. The Bailhongal court took action after authorities did not pay over ₹90 lakh for land acquired nearly three decades ago.

Around 21 acres of land in Kulavalli village of Bailhongal taluk were acquired in 1989–90 for government projects, but affected farmers were never compensated. The court had ordered payment of ₹4 lakh per acre, but even after six years the order remained unimplemented.
Citing continued non-compliance, the court ordered seizure of the CEO’s official vehicle and warned that office assets could also be attached. Affected farmer Mahendra Raosaheb Desai said compensation for at least 5 acres is still pending, prompting the court’s strict action.
